This study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) could improve thinking and walking while doing two things at once in people with Parkinson's disease. 41 participants received either real or fake rTMS …

This study looked at whether a robotic device called Lokomat can improve walking in 59 children and young people with movement disorders from brain injuries. The robot helps guide their legs during walking exercises. Researchers measured changes in walking speed, step length, and…

This study tested whether a self-balancing robotic exoskeleton (Atalante) could improve walking speed in people with multiple sclerosis better than standard physical therapy. Sixty participants with moderate to severe walking difficulty were randomly assigned to 24 sessions of ei…

This study tested whether adding a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (transcranial magnetic stimulation) to balance-focused exercises helps improve walking in people who have had a stroke. Thirty stroke survivors, aged 50-60 and at least six months post-stroke, took part. …

This study tested whether methylphenidate (Ritalin), a drug used for ADHD, could improve walking problems and attention in people with advanced Parkinson's disease. 69 participants with severe gait issues and freezing episodes were given either the drug or a placebo for 3 months.…

This study tested whether combining a non-invasive spinal stimulation technique (repetitive transspinal magnetic stimulation) with treadmill walking can improve gait problems in people with Parkinson's disease. 76 participants with moderate Parkinson's and walking difficulties we…

This study tested two types of robot-assisted therapy to help 80 stroke survivors relearn walking. One group used a treadmill robot, the other a walking robot without a treadmill. Researchers measured balance, walking speed, and daily independence to see which approach worked bet…

This study looked at whether a 4-week whole-body vibration training program helps children with cerebral palsy walk better, and if those improvements last 3 months after stopping. Only 1 child was enrolled, so results are very limited. The goal was to measure walking speed and di…

This study tested whether personalized walking training based on detailed 3D movement analysis works better than standard walking therapy for people with spinal cord damage from injury or multiple sclerosis. 63 participants received either training tailored to their specific walk…
